Tater Patch

If you’re looking for great food, great drinks, and an even better atmosphere, The Tater Patch absolutely delivers! 🍽️🍻 We came in for a Saturday lunch date and were blown away from the moment we walked in. This is a huge establishment with a classic jukebox 🎶, a massive fully stocked bar 🍹, and a welcoming, laid-back vibe that works for families, lunch outings, or a full-on weekend party scene. 🍄 The mushrooms deserve their own shout-out. They are HUGE, fresh, and served perfectly cold — absolute perfection dipped in their thick, ice-cold ranch 🥶🥣. Hands down some of the best we’ve ever had. 🐟 My husband ordered the catfish basket, and let’s just say… he’s still talking about it. Crispy, flavorful, generous portions — definitely a win. And the service? Top notch. ⭐️ Ask for Cowgirl — I think she said her name was Jennifer — but we were having such a great time we didn’t even want to slow the moment down. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely made our experience even better. ✔️ Amazing food ✔️ Fun atmosphere ✔️ Great service ✔️ Perfect for lunch, family, or weekend fun We’ll absolutely be back — no question about it! #TheTaterPatch #LocalFavorite #SaturdayLunch #GreatEats #ColdRanchIsElite #CatfishDoneRight #SupportLocal #GoodFoodGoodVibes

This is the very best place for fresh cooked food and large portions. Highly recommend you add this to your destination stop when traveling off 44hwy in the town of Rolla Missouri. The servers are great. Our servers were Cowgirl and Missy. Most stop.

What a top shelf location. Missy took such good care of us and the food was amazing. I had a pork tenderloin sandwich that could have fed 3. The other in my party got loaded potatoes. Top shelf experience from start to finish.

Had an awesome meal here. Randomly stopped here on a road trip and it was well worth it. The place was packed, which is always a good sign, but our server Kayla got our drinks and food out to us quickly and she did an exceptional job! We both got the hand breaded tenderloin and let me tell you it was the best tenderloin we've ever had!!! This thing was huge. Well cooked with a great breading and a great sawmill gravy over the top. Please do yourself a favor and pop in here for a surfire delicious meal!

Had supper here on 6.12.2025 and 6.13.2025 and was served by Abby on both occasions. Spectacular Catfish and Spectacular Potatoes entrees!! Definitely will eat here again and Highly Recommend to anyone traveling through Rolla, Missouri. Returned on 10.16.2025 and was served by Awesome Abby again. This time I had the Pork Tenderlion and it was Amazing!!

Portions are hearty & the food is flavorful! We loved the Tator Keg appetizers and pork tenderloin fingers. Obviously, the Tater Patch is known for its massive stuffed taters! All 7 of us enjoyed our food and overall experience!

Our waitress, Kayla (I think), was excellent. I had a pulled pork tater and I thought it was great. I don't really like baked potatoes, but this was a bit of a culinary adventure worth taking. No regrets.

We had lunch today with y'all. The servers were amazing and friendly. My kids and us LOVED the food! Really good prices and we didn't even wait long for our food! We'll be back!

Wow! What a fun place to grab just a meal, or an evening's entertainment. Big, hearty plates - - no, platters - of good ol' homestyle grub, in a honky-tonk atmosphere. Service was friendly and efficient, food was great, prices more than reasonable. Everything an Oklahoma country boy could ask for on the way to St. Louis. Health food? Nah, but nobody lives forever. Fried catfish is exceptional. Drop in and expect to leave with a full stomach and a smile on your face !

Husbands Burger good. Tater with pulled pork was awful-too salty to eat. Potato was huge but not tasty either. Staff very friendly but would not go back

Stopped in for dinner during our iconic Route 66 trip across the country. This was a neat place with a lot of Memorabilia and items all around the walls. There was a game room, bar, and dining area. Our server was great at explains items on the menu and providing some great suggestions. I had the Ozark Burger which was huge! The flavor was great with the chargrilled flavor from the juicy burger combined with the Smokey bbq flavor from the pulled pork. Make sure you have lots of napkins if you have this burger! My wife and friend that both had the Pulled Pork Taters were both very happy with the flavors and size of this huge Tater. Overall we had a great experience and would eat here again.

I enjoy eating at the Tater Patch. The atmosphere is fun, the night I was there, they had music bingo and it was a lot of fun. Even with the large crowd if people my server did an amazing job getting me my food and keeping my drink topped off. I can't wait to go back again.

A Giant Tenderloin Worth the Hype I'd seen billboards for this place along I-44 but never gave them much thought--until one caught my eye with a bold claim: a giant pork tenderloin sandwich. Challenge accepted. The restaurant says it's been around since 1965. Funny enough, I spent a few years in Rolla as a student and had never heard of it. Hidden gem? Maybe. The menu is extensive--burgers, potatoes, steaks, you name it. The pork tenderloin is front and center, proudly listed as their #1 pick. I went with that and chose potato salad as my side, lured in by the promise of it being "homemade." I've been burned by that label before. Will I ever learn? When the plate arrived, I knew I had a situation. This tenderloin was massive--I needed a game plan. While strategizing, I tried the potato salad. Homemade or not, it was surprisingly good: fully cooked potatoes with a mustardy, dill-pickle-forward flavor with chewy pieces of bacon that worked. The tenderloin itself needed a little help, so I added salt, pepper, mayo, and mustard from the table. I started with the overhanging edges of pork, paired with the dill pickles that came with the sandwich. The flavor was spot-on--rich pork, nicely seasoned, and satisfying. Eventually, I carved my way through enough of it to pick it up like a proper sandwich. The slice of onion and tomato tucked underneath made for a perfect finishing touch. This place is a solid pick for lunch or dinner in Rolla. Next time I'm passing through and hungry, I'll definitely be stopping again.

Went there for Bingo night and food. Ordered the tenderloin sandwich which did not disappoint! Fries tasted great, but were a bit small of a portion for a place called Tater Patch; however the size of the tenderloin sandwich made up for it. Was in the area for a work training and this was the 2nd time I've been there. I plan to come back if I ever have future training opportunities in the area. I didn't win in Bingo, but appreciated the fun night and great food! The prices were also reasonable in my opinion!

Food was very good. Service from Carrie was exceptional. There were eight at our table, everything was perfect including her sense of humor!

great food, tenderlion sandwich was huge! waitress was awesome. Carrie was our server and was wonderful!

We love the food here. But the atmosphere is typical bar (wish they had a separate entrance for food and maybe a bit of a divider. My favorite is the pork tenderloin strips! Served with a side of gravy! And it is a BIG order!! OK and my only butt is they really should up the quality of the dressing they serve with their mushrooms the fried mushroom are great, but I'm not a big fan of hidden Valley Ranch dressing. There are so many better ones out there even if you make your own.. all in all it still give it a 4 1/2 the food is very, very good if you don't mind the rest.

We were on our way back to saint louis from Lebanon MO, so decided to stop at this place in Rolla for a quick sit down and eat food. This place was quick to seat us. The server staff was quick to take our orders. The food was quick to be delivered to us. My youngest kid knows what she wanted to order right away for her drink which was sprint, however my oldest kid was indecisive, so her soft drink after gentle reminder to the staff came out with our food. The food has great portion size and filling.

Great place. We will be returning for sure. I have been to Rolla many times over the years and never knew the gem was there. Cowgirl was our waitress.

I have been to this "place" three times and the service was adequate. The lunch meals (2) were horrid in taste plus not hot. The third was a breakfast but was not as I ordered. The scrambled eggs were ordered NOT DRY but came dry and cold. The bacon was burnt. Strike three for me. The doors of this place will never be opened by me or my guests again.

Went to the Tater Patch as it is the halfway point to pick up the dog. Had the tenderloin and a cricket shot. The tenderloin was good but bland. I had the Cricket shot and was good as well. Would go back and try agai

Two of us went in for lunch today. We sat ourselves and waited about 15 minutes before we got menus or anyone acknowledged us. This wasn't the first time this happened. I really enjoy the food but the service is poor.

Great burgers and fries! Service was friendly and prompt. Great place to watch a game and enjoy great food.

We went during a college move-in day, so our weight was longer than usual. The waitress was upfront about it right when we walked in the door to let us know. The food was excellent, the portions were large and we will return!

The food was excellent, the Tenderloin Dinner was more than 2 people could eat. The drinks were tasty abd tge beer was cold! We will stop again when we pass througg Rolla.

Terrible service! Food was average but servers attitude was terrible when we told her our order was incorrect. Took forever to get drink refills and our check. Will not be visiting again.

Ashley's Bloody Mary's are amazing! They come topped with pickles, olives, bacon and tater tots, made with a house infused vodka! Stop in and let Ashley fix you up!!

Remember this place is a bar at night. With that being said, I'm sure glad they serve up food during the day. The place is a little scary on the inside. The waitress we had was super nice and friendly. The food, you won't go home disappointed or hungry if you're looking for bar food. Pork Tenderloin Sandwich was super large and way more than one person could eat. I had to cut it in thirds and double up two pieces on the bun. It is not one of those ALL breaded fried pork chops. It's the perfect thickness and a real pork chop. The breading is crispy and full of country fried flavor. The sidewinder fries are delicious, but I love get them wherever they are served. Jacob got the chicken cordon blue tater. He said it was extra large and full of flavor. He was t disappointed. I'd prefer to give them a 4.5 but really couldn't knock them down to a 4. For bar food with a country twist, it's pretty dang good and well worth the $23 we spent for two meals that we couldn't eat all of. Lol

Little Bar/Restaurant that has the Best Fried Catfish around !!! Coleslaw is delicious also! Second road trip for us, driving from AZ TO IL, second time we ate here. And now we know we need to eat here whenever we drive thru. I even made sure I timed everything right so we would stop in Rolla and eat at the Tater Patch

They weren't serving breakfast (BUMMER!), so I got the next best thing... Ordered the Sunrise Burger with no ham or bun, with a side of cottage cheese. Afterwards, I realized I should've cut it in half and taken some home. Oh well, live and learn. At least the cottage cheese was partly healthy. And I got me mah egg and bacon! Service was very good and the place just has a really friendly vibe to it.

Look at how huge this potato was! What an experience! I stopped in for lunch on a Friday and this place was packed. They have a whole page dedicated to all different loaded potatos. They have other options too if potatoes are not your thing. The funnel cake fries were so fun . They didn't last long enough on the table for a picture. They came with a chocolate, strawberry, and caramel sauce. Also, this place is a perfect stop if you are passing by on the old Route66. Missy was amazing. She provided great suggestions and was helpful. I'm not sure how many tables she had. She was always running around and people seemed to love her.

Food is great and wonderful portions. You won't go away hungry. All the loaded spuds are wonderful.

Great cheeseburger, service, atmosphere, and overall just a great place to eat. Also, very quick service.

Great service. The waitress was awesome! Great food and whole variety so everyone can get what they want. The food tastes great and I recommend if your traveling through stop. You will enjoy. Just a warning your food arrives way before the appetizers show up.

You'll see the billboards as you drive between St Louis and Springfield. They don't do this place justice. This ia a find!! Tater Patch offered the perfect mid-drive meal on a freezing cold, rainy, miserable day ... but even if the sun had been shining it would have still be great. Great food and great service at a reasonable price. It's an old roadhouse of a building, with half being a large bar complete with pool table and arts, while the other half a large country-cafe style dining room, with a couple of televisions, our flag, Christmas lights, etc. - nothing fancy, but clean and comfortable. I saw great-looking, enormous sandwiches and burgers at several tables, with fantastic looking fries piled high in metal baskets. But I went for one of the featured "taters" ...a gigantic baked Idaho spud loaded with a chicken pot filling overflowing onto the plate ... with plenty of gravy. If Tater Patch was near my home, it'd be my go-to place every week. Right now, I can only dream about my next drive on I-44 ...

Stopped in for lunch. I had a BLT and my husband had the Bulldog Burger. Both were fantastic. We will be back when we are in town.

We saw advertisements on the bill boards as we were driving from Uranus. We decided to wait out some storms and went to the Tator Patch. There's alot of parking in front and on the sides and back of the building. This has a bar setting. The waitresses were on it with drinks and food. Very friendly staff and they knew and gave good suggestions. We ordered chicken pot pie tator, Buffalo Chicken tater amd Cheeseburger Tator. All were very tasty. I recommend definitely going and trying this. There are TVs to watch while you are waiting and a music box if you want to play music. They do have sandwiches as well but we ordered what the specialy was and so glad that we did.

I would love to leave a review of the food but we were seated for 15 minutes and never had a server. Weren't even acknowledged when we left. Food looked great but from a far.

Well I knew the tenderloin would be big, but it was actually absurd. Flavor was aligned with 'home cooking' style that I was craving. My husband wasn't as impressed with the Swiss burger but wanted serval bites off my plate. Also had potato skins, a little small in size but tasted good. (Hard to make a bad potato skin) Service was okay, nothing out of the ordinary but they were pretty busy being a weekend.

Very tasty. Had the pulled pork tater and it was delicious. Servers were very friendly and had good recommendations.

Went there for breakfast and also later for dinner as it is one of the few places that are open on a Sunday. Got quoted a 45 minute wait which isn't bad so we decided to sit down. The wait staff was very nice and offered us drinks when we sat and took our order. It was really 45 minutes till we got our food I ordered the country fried steak it was tender and crispy on the edges. Later that night went back for live music and the fried cat fish was amazing soft and flaky. Would recommend if in the area has an older classic feel to it

On a work trip so stoped in for a few drinks. Stood at the bar for 20-30 minutes before the lady even said anything to me then didn't even let me finish my order before walking away. It then took her another 5 minutes to bring it to me. Was the worst service I've ever had. Then when I asked for the bill she got an attitude and told me to wait. Was looking forward to this place but holy fuck was it a let down. Wouldn't recommend anyone come here.

Tater Patch... your creative concept fell flat in the execution department. I mean, who names a restaurant after a humble tuber and then serves Tater Tot impostors? The Ozark Nachos were a crime scene, with heated-up Idaho Tater Tot rounds masquerading as 'deep fried potato slices.' Only the baked potato passed the authenticity test. The rest? Meh. It's a shame, really, because you could be so much more.

Good was fantastic and our server had a personality as big as the Tenderloin sandwiches!

We were passing through Rolla and stopped for dinner. Fun interior, kinda honytonk. The service was delightful fast and courteous. AND THE FOOD! FANTASTIC! I had an enormous pork cutlet and my wife had a giant cob salad. We'll definitely stop here again!

Imagine a dive bar with the most amazing stuffed baked potatoes the size of a dinner plate. They have patio seating if you want a side of nicotine with your spud. If your not a smoker I don't recommend sitting out there. The food isn't fancy but it's good and the portions are generous. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is chill. They often have live music so check the website for their selection. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because of the smoking. Patrons outside tend to bring the lingering smoke indoors or it wafts as servers go back and forth.

The food was good, but remember what it is called. The Ozark nachos were good but needed more jalapeños and to be hotter. My wife ordered a salad, big error. It was not good. But my catfish was fresh and hot, and I normally won't eat catfish, rather good. My son's burger was good too. Good beer selection. They are short waitstaff, so be patient.

Good food and friendly staff. A pet friendly stop for those traveling with furry friends. Thanks for a nice family meal on the road!

on a road trip we wanted to eat somewhere local and this fit that. Our waitress was fast and friendly, and our food server told us the best way to eat the huge bulldog burger. we enjoyed our meal and will eat there again if we travel through Rolla again.

Carrie was our server. She was amazing! Probably the best one there, and has a bum foot to boot! Great atmosphere, great food. There's a reason the parking lot is full on a Thursday at 11am.

I just wanna let you know we had the best Ribeye Meals. Our waitress Missy was the best very accommodating to everything making sure we had anything we needed. The Bread pudding was delicious.... We highly recommend this place. Thanks again to Missy.. our waitress...

Missy was our server. She gave excellent service. We received a lot of delicious food for a good price. Couldn't ask for a better place to eat.

The pork tenderloin is awesome! The service was fast and friendly. I would highly recommend Tater Patch

Quick and friendly service with generous portions! My college student had leftovers, and we both enjoyed our taters!

We tried the Nashville Heat Burger & it was DELICIOUS. Friendly staff & nice environment for familys.​

Yep. I ate at a place called the Tater Patch and I liked it. I didn't love it. The mashed potatoes were good but the gravy was kind of meh. The beans weren't super hot but they had the pulled pork and were mixed with barbecue sauce. Pretty decent. The chicken fried steak was tasty and so happy to have been surprised like that. Our waitress was really great and fast and attentive. The place was clean and there was quite the variety of people

This place came highly recommended by the hotel I was staying at so I decided to give it a try. Took a long time to get a menu. I went with the 12 oz ribeye with baked potato and garden salad. I guess I should have requested the salad come out before the entree because all of it came out together. The steak was cooked a perfect medium, but wasn't real hot. The baked potato had no heat at all and couldn't even melt the butter. Not sure I would return, but this experience wasn't great.
